In navigating…read moremy new lease and figuring out what I need,Megan Jensen has exceeded expectations as Resident Relations Coordinator and has continued to answer my many questions promptly and accurately. When I had to catch a flight soon after the lease signing deadline, both Larissa and Megan helped me get through everything as fast as possible. They have both gone above and beyond and are great examples of why SBA is the only company I'll lease with in Madison.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY…read more In the spring time every year I check my ac to see if it works the first hot day of the year. every single year they have had to send someone out to check it because it doesn't work. this year I put a request in to have it checked out in April 14th of 2024 it took them 10 days to come out. then may 05th comes around I put in another request because nothing has been done which is also ignored. I put in a 3rd request on May 14th. then all 3 requests are all canceled. I send a message to the property management to call me. no response. it is now may 18th and it was 87 degrees today and my house is at 85 degrees at 10pm and I cannot sleep which is why I am currently writing this review while I should be sleeping. I cannot sit by and pay 1260 a month for a company that will not respond to my normal maintenance requests. this is rediculous and I am hoping someone high up sees this review and I can finally get my ac fixed. If I could give them 0 stars I would. The maintenance team is absolutely a joke. I had to send atleast 10 maintenance requests for a simple I have no hot water complaint. Well after 4 visits I had to request an outside company to come take a look at it. Took them all of 30 seconds to say it needed a new hot water heater and softeners. I had to make 2 more requests after to get them to replace it. Then the company spilt water all over the carpet and broke the doors for the closet the softener was in. Which was in my 5 year old sons bedroom. The maintenance department decides a shower curtain is acceptable as a closet and didn't clean up the spilt water softener salt In there that they spilt. Be prepared to spend over 1200 a month in rent and if you have any problems with the apartment good luck getting them solved and without being super ghetto repairs. Sincerely, Very unhappy renter

I cannot praise Progressive Property Management (PPM) enough! We initially signed a rental…read moreagreement with PPM for a single year but have since renewed twice because we have been so happy with the company. Beth and Peggy are personable and professional and a true joy to work with; it's clear that they care about their tennants and strive hard to meet their needs. Since moving into the property (an older home), several minor issues have arisen (e.g., a toilet leak, a problem with the fridge, a tap leak), and each time, PPM has quickly and efficiently resolved the problem, even when the issue came up late at night. This is in stark contrast to other property management companies that we have rented from in the past, where we were often forced to live with the issue for weeks or even months. We could not be happier with PPM!

They need to start caring more about residents and less about the 2 businesses below. I do not recommend renting with this group, nor will I re-sign.

After dealing with some financial and roommate struggles, he was very responsive, willing to look into all avenues to help, and very understanding in allowing us to catch up. The Fitzgerald apartments are truly a place you can make home, and that is all thanks to the managers and employees who care about you as a person and not as just a bank account. Thank you John for lifting such a heavy weight off of our shoulders!

Not surprised that they don't have many good reviews, parking in their ramps is a total scam. I…read moreparked at the 122 West Doty ramp at 6pm and when I came back at 8pm the ramp was completely locked up. There was no signage anywhere saying that the ramp was going to close. I was then charged almost $40 for overnight parking. When I reached out to them to find a solution. All they did was gaslight me that the ramp never closes and refused to give me any form of refund for the overnight portion that I paid. I found them to be very disrespectful and demeaning in the way that they handled the issue. Not worth parking in these ramps when there are plenty of others in Madison that are much more fairly priced.

Parking scam artists and unwilling unprofessional managers to handle any resolution process. We…read moreparked at 10 Doty St for less than 48 hours; Friday 2:40pm until Sunday at 11am and the charge was fifty seven dollars. Sign reads ten dollars flat fee Friday and Saturday. They use small print misleading pricing to scam you for at least three times the price they want you to believe you will pay. They say it is aimed at the "bar crowd". Valet at the Hilton is cheaper than this radical Madison company. Avoid anything that is related to this money scamming company.

This update has had enough time and air like a fine wine needing to breath to provide this…read moreunbiased, truthful review. 1) Sara was not the best management nor even close. They got rid of her for good reason and it took too long. 2) Corporate officers are fair and decent now that I have had the pleasure of working with, talking to and interacting with others at the personal level/in court/as an ombudsman for other and mediating. Kasie is the asset to this company and I trust the owners know it. 3) There are two owners - Elizabeth comes off like Miss Millie of The Color Purple. Take it for what it is. 4) Never had a pest problem. Only spiders outside the window. They never once cleaned the exterior windows for the 7 years I can give firsthand testimony. 5) They know, upfront, what they will charge you for and it's basically everything when it comes to asking for mtce help switching light bulbs you can't reach. He's $30/hr. Seems crazy wild but the carpet cleaner they use will complete your unit for $125 and he has his own key. He is reliable and trust worthy. Plus, his hands are softer than mine. 6) The guy they use for painting can be hired to complete some painting and his price isn't too far fetched. 7) Take pictures and keep receipts for whatever at move out. Yeah, some charges will be slid in but they will correct things as soon as you email. 8) The office front staff turnover has been a thing since they opened in 2005. Nicole was the best and moved on to another property. 9) The clientele of the building has changed. Upon opening it really was high end tenants that would even rent two places and tear down a shared wall and use both places. 10) Now there's a coffee/cocoa machine that every building and car shop seems to have. 11) There's better lighting in the garage. 12) There's also a rolling cart to help manage getting things from the garage to your floor. 13) No one may not be present in the office but guess what THEY WILL ANSWER EMAILS PROMPTLY. 14) Renewal paperwork will be left at your door which is also useful. 15) Packages don't walk away 16) The homeless will try to hang out in the entry door/hall during the winter. This rating is based on a comparative analysis of other rental buildings in Madison and those that also include affordable housing. Parking is charged here but not at their 53711 Renaissance place at the Madison/Fitchburg border on the westside.

Randomly and suddenly, the smiley, easy going, understanding property manager who has managed the…read moreproperty for several years is no longer in the office. There seems to be 3 to 4 different people in the office during the week, which shows how many people they need to run the property just as well as one person (Sara) did on her own. We did not receive a memo that Sara was no longer the manager of the building and that is unprofessional and concerning. Sara was by the far the best manager I've ever had and she is missed dearly by all. I've spoken to neighbors that even moved back into the property because of her great management skills, and also talked to others that are leaving because she is no longer the manager. It's an abrupt, unexplained exit and we would like more information on the situation. The building is not the same without her and she is dearly missed! She is what made the building the happy, fun, safe place to be and it's just not the same home is once was. We miss you Sara! You are a kind, caring, smart woman and I hope to get in touch with you somehow! -K
